Add coconut milk or cashew cream and adjust seasoning, as needed. Heat through and serve with optional toppings, if desired.

Notes

If you are not familiar with leeks, they can be very dirty. Cut off the dark green tops and then make two cuts lengthwise (not all the way through to the roots so it still holds together) so the stalk is divided into fourths. Soak the leek in cold water for several minutes and then swish it around in the water before removing to make sure all of the dirt has been removed.

I like to serve this at dinner parties in hollowed out and roasted sugar baby pumpkins and roast the seeds for garnish.
